Some of my vectors got rejected for this what should I do to fix them?
Not Approved: This is not a proper vector. There is pixelation at larger sizes. |

Maybe you import some images (photos, pictures) to your vector. You should convert those image to vector (path).
Vectors are different from photos. Vectors consist of paths and look the same at any size. Photos consist pixels, and when you zoom out 100%, 200% or more, you will see those pixels. |

If you want to make true vector .eps files, use Illustrator. you can't create true vectors with Photoshop.
You can always submit your Photoshop creations as .jpegs
good luck! |

There are 2 types of .eps files. TIFF based and WMF (windows meta file) based. The TIFF based eps's are raster (pixel) and the others are true vector.
It's down to the software you use to create the art in. You cannot create a vector image in photoshop. You need a program like coreldraw, illustrator, flash, freehand etc, where you actualy create an outline shape, not paint an image.
Hope this helps. |

My three (ja don't laugh!) vectors were created in photoshop cs2, saved as eps v8
I've had that rejection on two of the ones accepted, and resubmitting with a note to say something along the lines of "it's a vector, can someone please re-review" seems to get them through. I think ss may have the odd bug with vectors? |

Hi Rach.
CS2 does have the ability to create a vector 'mask' and fill it. I believe the outcome is still rasterized though (along the lines of a macromedia fireworks image). I guess that if you are getting them excepted, then go for broke! SS may tighten their vector criteria as this type of image gets more popular. |

Yep...interesting tutorial.
Couple of things though. They state they are giving the image 'a vector look and feel' by using vector 'masks'. These are then filled.
Later he applies 'Filter/Blur/Gaussian Blur of 1.1 pixels'. Pixels denote a rasterized componant.
Essentially, the image is still a painted raster image, using vector masks to denote the shape outlines. Have you tried zooming right into one of these images to see if it pixalates? A true vector image wont. |

It's a great starting point. With the vector mask experience, you can slip right into illustrator or coreldraw with ease. |
